Surfing for God: Discovering the Divine Desire Beneath Sexual Struggle

by Michael John Cusick Narrated by Mark Smeby

Overview

Discover how the barrier built by porn addiction can become a bridge to abundant life.

What if lust for porn is really a search for true passion?

In a world where there are 68 million searches for pornography every day and where over 70 percent of Christian men report viewing porn in the last year, it's no surprise that more and more men struggle with an addiction to this false fantasy. Common wisdom says if they just had more willpower or more faith, their fight would be over. Is the answer really that simple?

According to the counselor and ministry leader Michael John Cusick, the answer is no-but the big truth may be much more freeing. Backed by scripture, Cusick uses examples from his own life and from his twenty years of counseling experience to show us how the pursuit of empty pleasure is really a search for our heart's deepest desire-and the real key to to resistance is discovering and embracing the joy we truly want.

Cusick's insights help readers understand

• How porn struggles begin
• What to do to prevent those struggles
• How to overcome the compulsion once it begins

"Every man who knocks on the door of a brothel is knocking for God." - G. K.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Cusick (Restoring the Soul ministry) here addresses issues in the contemporary world with a directness and frankness unusual in writers on religious topics; his brief is specifically the lure of Internet-based pornography, which is as common and as damaging in the business and Christian worlds as it is anywhere else. To Cusick, porn "hits" are a deflected search for connectedness with God, and he challenges the Christian man to "be circumcised in his heart" and accept both personal brokenness and God's love directly. VERDICT Touching the issues of our time, this is an unusual, frank, and welcome talk for Christian men in all walks of life.
